The Department of Justice recently released a report highlighting the Federal Bureau of Investigation's shortcomings in properly addressing child sex crime allegations. The investigation was initiated by the DOJ's Office of the Inspector General (OIJ) in response to concerns over the mishandling of reports involving former USA physician Lawrence Nassar.
During the audit, the OIJ reviewed 327 incidents out of 3,925 cases opened by the FBI related to hands-on sex offenses against children. Shockingly, the audit identified 42 incidents that required immediate attention, accounting for 13% of all incidents reviewed.
